I can't agree. While it would be nice to see the cyborgs, we do need more new characters, and the game's not out yet anyway. Sure some of them might feel like they're a little too similar to other characters, but I'm willing to bet they're not the same.

Cassie feels different enough, and we don't know anything about Jacqui, so I can't judge her quite yet. Kotal Kahn is pretty cool, as is Takeda, Erron Black, D'vorah, Ferra and Tor, and that's all I remember right now.

I would personally like to see more new characters, but not at the expense of older ones, of course.

You'll get your cyborg fix from Jaqcui and predator.

It's almost like people forget how fighting games work.

Fuck you

This is why MK will never progress..

I'm sorry, but Meat over Kung Jin???HAHAHA!!!

Get over it

MKX is MK3 free.

Lol, fans will surely agree.

Seriously. Shujinko I actually like, but Meat and Mokap?

Impressive reach.

Mk 4 was cyber-free as well and nobody complained. NRS added them regardless in mk:gold.

I bet my own underwear that Sektor and Cyrax will be heavily featured in story mode as NPCs.

OP used to make good posts. What the hell happened?

I'm actually very surprised that neither Cyrax nor Sektor will be in the game as playable characters. Both of them survived MK9, and Sektor's presence is a significant adversarial threat not just for Sub-Zero, but for the majority of earthrealm. I wonder if the Lin Kuei situation is going to be resolved either in the comic, or simply as an "off-camera" story element in-game, thus eliminating the need for Sektor and Cyrax's presence on the roster.

No cyborgs - better game, in my opinion.

At what point is the roster too big then?

Reading the OP and other similar threads to this, you'd think people just want the Armageddon roster over and over. So OP, do you want no new characters ever? Or do you want an ever increasing roster (that would be impossible anyway because of tech and time restraints)?

There are some characters that are crap. They just are. That doesn't mean people can't or shouldn't be fans of them, but generally speaking those characters don't sell the game which is all that really matters.

Top tier characters need to be in every game for sales. Beyond that, some type of rotation should be in place to get new characters in. We're beyond a point where you should be surprised if certain characters with smaller fan bases, inferior game play, bad story lines, etc. aren't in every single game.

And what are the Top tier characters in your opinion, how can the rotation work with that?

I love Sektor. He's not in. I'm over it.

MK11... The countdown is real.

Eight new characters ain't shit compared to the sixteen returning, including the resurrected ones. This game was going to have more new characters than old returning until they pull a 180 on that idea.



Same could be said about the old characters, no need for them if they're going to suck. Especially Jax, in terms of variety, his gameplay in MK9 was just not there. I am dying to know how bad they're going to fuck him up for MKX. They're probably going to give him a machine gun again just for the sake of Variation.




....shit.
10/10 Made me reply.

The cyborgs can go away forever for all I care. Never liked them. They don't fit. No offense. MKX will be that much better if its true.

I, for one, love that Mortal Kombat is getting back to its roots: MORTAL Kombat. This roster is awesome! They've been pandering to the ninja fans for almost 20 years now. MK9 was ALL about the cyborgs and ninjas. Let others have a chance.

Cyborgs fit pretty well IMO, then again most things can fit in the MKU.

Im pretty tired of people saying "Things don't fit in MK Universe" I beg to differ.. We have Gods, Demons, Sorcerers, 4 Armed beasts, Centaurs, Lizard Men, Cops, A Bug Lady, Indians (native americans), a dragon King, A Mayan type warrior, People from different realms IE Chaos/Order, Actors, Tarkatans.. Vampires, AND people with Cybernetic Implants... So Im sorry, Cyborgs DO fit in Mortal Kombat.. Just about everything does at this point.

Not only that but Cyborgs have been around for over 2/3rds of MKs existence.. so explain to me how they DON'T fit into it?

I would like Cyrax and Sektor to make cameos, but when it comes to playable, honestly I couldn't really give a shit about either of them.

Yeah seriously, WTF OP?

Also, this is how MK's done their roster since MK2. I don't think it's overly realistic to ask them to change to only adding two characters per game.

Preach it brother!

I love the cyborgs, but I am not going to lose sleep if they're not in.


He did? Must be news to me
